N4
Hybrid moralities
rend through this Northern
nest nuzzled
between Piccadilly
and Ancoats...
Distracting vinyl
and garish plastic
displays in off-beat vintage
boutiques, a new cool
dotted along
enduring cobbles...
On pliant breast,
this nipple of Manchester
cityscape titillates
with its neon milk
ducts along streets running off Victoria
station down to Shudehill...
Feeding senses
like a ubiquitous Babylon.

Hmmm, glad to see you've posted some girl!
This is fascinating, I've heard of symbolic meanings in the shape of buildings, but comparing the glamor of city life that closely with titillating milk is a truly interesting comparison.
Your writing has always been fantastic Cath! Great piece!
Great work CM-B!
These lines are gem-like in their lustre:
"On pliant breast,

Very original, very alive.
Bravo!
